Jack Hirschman contriburtes an introductory essay describing Glik's poems and songs as personifying the creed of Partisans against Nazism particularly in Vilna , Lithuania. "When the news of the Waqrsaw Ghetto uprising reached the Vilna ghetto, it inspired Hirsh to write his famous song-poem "Zog Nit Keynmor (Don't Ever Say)"... In a short time and with amazing speed, Hirsh Glik's song became the anthem of the Resistance: It swept through the ghettos and camps and became known as "the Song of the Partisans." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
